| Don't think the Bayer stuff will work on mites. I would go with the neem oil, and keep the plant in a cool, not very bright spot for a couple of days. However, that assumes you really have mites. You need to get a jewlers loupe or a really strong magnifying glass and actually look for the mites. Phals get flat mites that just find a spot on the back side of the leaves and park there, so don't expect a lot of movement. If you look under at the section on pests and deseases, you will find a sticky post on mites.
